Android using Azure Mobile Services Delete Null Exception

I am trying to delete a blob and container from my azure mobile services storage and I keep getting an exception from the calls. My upload, geturi, download, getcontainers, etc. all work but neither delete blob or delete container work. I keep getting an exception. For the delete container I get:

    Process: com.w9jds.myglassshare, PID: 504
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.w9jds.myglassshare.Classes.StorageService$2.onCompleted(StorageService.java:117)

and for the delete blob I get:

My code for the two calls are as follows:

DeleteContainer:

    public void deleteContainer(String containerName)
    {
        //Create the json Object we'll send over and fill it with the required
        //id property - otherwise we'll get kicked back
        JsonObject container = new JsonObject();
        container.addProperty("id", 0);
        //Create parameters to pass in the container details.  We do this with params
        //because it would be stripped out if we put it on the container object
        List<Pair<String,String>> parameters = new ArrayList<Pair<String, String>>();
        parameters.add(new Pair<String, String>("containerName", containerName));
        mTableContainers.delete(container, parameters, new TableDeleteCallback()
        {
            @Override
            public void onCompleted(Exception exception, ServiceFilterResponse response)
            {
                if (exception != null)
                {
                    Log.e(TAG, exception.getCause().getMessage());
                    return;
                }

                //Refetch containers from the server
                //Intent broadcast = new Intent();
                //broadcast.setAction("blob.deleted");
                //mContext.sendBroadcast(broadcast);

                getContainers();
            }
        });
    }

DeleteBlob:

    public void deleteBlob(final String containerName, String blobName)
    {
        //Create the json Object we'll send over and fill it with the required
        //id property - otherwise we'll get kicked back
        JsonObject blob = new JsonObject();
        blob.addProperty("id", 0);
        //Create parameters to pass in the blob details.  We do this with params
        //because it would be stripped out if we put it on the blob object
        List<Pair<String,String>> parameters = new ArrayList<Pair<String, String>>();
        parameters.add(new Pair<String, String>("containerName", containerName));
        parameters.add(new Pair<String, String>("blobName", blobName));

        mTableBlobs.delete(blob, parameters, new TableDeleteCallback()
        {
            @Override
            public void onCompleted(Exception exception, ServiceFilterResponse response)
            {
                if (exception != null)
                {
                    Log.e(TAG, exception.getCause().getMessage());
                    return;
                }
                //Refetch the blobs from the server
                //getBlobsForContainer(containerName);
            }
        });
    }

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The exception happens in the onCompleted method, and the only way I can see of a null pointer exception happening is if the exception.getCause() call returns null. Try rewriting your methods as follows:

public void onCompleted(Exception exception, ServiceFilterResponse response)
{
    if (exception != null)
    {
        Log.e(TAG, exception.getMessage();
        Throwable t = e.getCause();
        while (t != null)
        {
            Log.e(TAG, "  Cause: " + t.getMessage());
            t = t.getCause();
        }
        return;
    }
